The issue turned out to be the use of the profile file from the earlier version of Rumba. When I upgraded to 8.2 I saved my profile file from the prior version and used that to start up 8.2. Something in the old profile prevented the message macro command from working. I started with a new profile and set it up the same as the old one using the proper menu selections and the message macro command has worked fine ever since. So the lesson here is that you must build up your profile from scratch when you upgrade to a newer version of Rumba. If you try to carry your old profile file forward you may have unexpected results. Perhaps Micro Focus might consider creating a profile converter and making it available as a download for folks who upgrade. Depending on the amount of customizing, recreating a profile from scratch can be very lengthly and tedious.
